Bilateral Acute Iris Transillumination Syndrome after Topical Moxifloxacin/Dexamethasone Initially Misdiagnosed as Uveitis: Case Report
We present a case of a 46-year-old healthy woman, who developed BAIT in both eyes, following the use of topical moxifloxacin/dexamethasone for bilateral bacterial conjunctivitis, followed by a nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in the left eye.Case Rep Ophthalmol 2023;14:39 –46 (Source: Case Reports in Ophthalmology)

Temporary Myopic Shift in a Patient with Multiple Parallel-Line Endotheliitis
Here, we report the case of a patient with multiple parallel-line endotheliitis with myopic shift, which has not been previously reported. A 36-year-old man visited our clinic with blurred vision in his left eye. A slit lamp examination revealed an interesting pattern of multiple parallel lines of keratic precipitates, along with subtle corneal edema. The spherical equivalents measured in the right and left eyes were −9.25 and −11.875 diopter, respectively, with the left eye showing more myopic progression. On specular microscopy, endothelial cell loss was found in the left eye. After administration of a weak topical s...

OCT Angiography Use in Pregnancy: Branch Retinal Artery Occlusion Associated with Patent Foramen Ovale – A Case Report and Multimodal Analysis
This case report is a multimodal analysis of a pregnant patient with branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) associated to patent foramen ovale (PFO). A 28-year-old woman presented at the clinic 20 h after an acute, painless black spot appearance in the inferior temporal visual field of the right eye (OD). At that time, she was 18 weeks pregnant and had no report of complications in her previous pregnancy. Best-corrected visual acuity was 1.0 in both eyes. Color fundus photo, perimetry, and OCT angiography were required. The results clearly showed an embolus in the superior nasal retinal arteriole, associated with a pallor ...

Late PAMM-Like Lesions in a Patient with HIV Retinopathy
This report describes a case of a newly diagnosed 49-year-old HIV patient, who presented with decreased visual acuity and retinal lesions characterized by ischemia at the level of the deep retinal capillary plexus, documented with optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography, fluorescein angiography, and visual fields testing. These lesions closely resembled the morphologic and clinical characteristics of late paracentral acute middle maculopathy. The presence of these lesions suggests that HIV microangiopathy can potentially affect both superficial and deep retinal capillary plexuses.Case Rep Ophthalmol 2023;14:23 ...

Large Number of Eyelashes in the Lacrimal Sac Found by Dacryoendoscopy: A Case Report
Foreign objects sometimes enter the lacrimal sac. Here, we report the case of a patient with many comb-shaped eyelashes in the lacrimal sac and discuss the potential of using dacryoendoscopy to detect and remove foreign bodies from the lacrimal apparatus. A 65-year-old woman with a teary eye underwent dacryoendoscopy. There was no abnormality in the canaliculi. The internal ostium was blocked by a large number of black, comb-shaped eyelashes. Numerous bunched eyelashes covered with small white debris were found in the upper part of the lacrimal sac. No eyelash bundles were present from the lower lacrimal sac to the nasolac...

Peripapillary Retinoschisis as a Manifestation of Ocular Hypotony
The aim of this case report was to present an unusual case of peripapillary retinoschisis (PPRS) associated with ocular hypotony after glaucoma surgery. It refers to a 78-year-old man with primary open-angle glaucoma who developed PPRS while hypotonous. Optical coherence tomography of the peripapillary and the macular area of the right eye revealed PPRS temporally and nasally to the optic disc, more prominent at the level of the outer nuclear layer and less so at the inner nuclear layer. The PPRS completely regressed after 1 month of treatment and restoration of intraocular pressure to normal levels. This case report highl...

A Case of Foldable Artificial Iris Implantation for Treatment of Postcataract Surgery Aniridia
We report an approach for managing acquired aniridia induced by intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) during cataract surgery. An 81-year-old man with right blurred vision and photophobia symptoms was treated for extensive iris defects due to cataract surgery aniridia. The retained iris for the patient was observed at the 5 –10 o’clock position, with the intraocular lens (IOL) inside the capsular bag. Although the aniridia symptoms were successfully addressed by the implantation of a foldable artificial iris (Iris Prosthesis: Ophtec [formerly Reper], Groningen, the Netherlands), the procedure subsequently caused e...

A Case of Intraocular Cilium after 25-Gauge Micro-Incision Vitrectomy Surgery
We report a case of intraocular cilium after micro-incision vitrectomy surgery for retinal detachment. A 61-year-old male underwent vitrectomy with cataract surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The postoperative course was generally good with no re-detachment, but on examination 3 months later, a cilium was observed on the retina above the fundus. After discussing with the patient, it was decided to take no immediate action and just continuously monitor the patient in order to detect if there was worsening of any of the symptoms. The present case report suggests that foreign bodies such as cilium may stray into t...

Infectious Keratitis in Corneal Graft following Astigmatic Keratotomy: A Case Report and Literature Review
This report describes a rare case of an early-onset infectious keratitis occurring in a corneal transplant after FSAK. A 38-year-old man with previous history of penetrating keratoplasty and FSAK presented to emergency department with deep corneal infiltration at the FASK incision site along with a decline in his baseline best corrected visual acuity 1 month after FSAK. Corneal scraping was performed, and topical fortified antibiotic eyedrops were started. Culture results showed no growth. Three weeks later, the corneal infiltrate resolved with residual scarring at the FSAK incision site, and the patient regained his basel...

Traumatic Orbital Floor Fracture Causing Therapeutic Orbital Decompression in Thyroid Eye Disease
This is a case of a 67-year-old female with a history of Graves ’ disease and associated thyroid eye disease who presented to the emergency room after falling and hitting her head. Subsequently, she noted periorbital air on the left side when blowing her nose. A CT scan in the emergency room revealed a left orbital floor fracture and decompression of the left orbit. While nonsurgical orbital decompression in the setting of Graves’ eye disease has been reported in several instances, spontaneous ethmoid bone remodeling or fracture has been the most cited mechanism, with rarer instances of true spontaneous orbital floor f...
